Heart

-

       About Human Heart:
A well developed specialized system to transport nutrients,gases and hormones within the body.'
This system is known as circulatory system,namely blood , blood vessels and heart.
                  Blood is a fluid connective tissue. Blood circulates and transport essential substances such as oxygen and nutrients to the cells all over the body. It composed of plasma and blood cells.There are three type of blood cells or corpuscles. They are red blood cells(RBCs) or erythrocytes,white blood cells (WBCs)or leukocytes, and blood platelets or thrombocytes.
Diagram of Heart.


The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.[1] Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assisting in the removal of metabolic wastes.[2] In humans, the heart is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest.[3]
In humans, other mammals, and birds, the heart is divided into four chambers: upper left and right atria and lower left and right ventricles.[4][5] Commonly the right atrium and ventricle are referred together as the right heart and their left counterparts as the left heart.[6] Fish, in contrast, have two chambers, an atrium and a ventricle, while reptiles have three chambers.[5] In a healthy heart blood flows one way through the heart due to heart valves, which prevent backflow.[3] The heart is enclosed in a protective sac, the pericardium, which also contains a small amount of fluid. The wall of the heart is made up of three layers: epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium.[7]
The heart pumps blood with a rhythm determined by a group of pacemaking cells in the sinoatrial node. These generate a current that causes contraction of the heart, traveling through the atrioventricular node and along the conduction system of the heart. The heart receives blood low in oxygen from the systemic circulation, which enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior venae cavae and passes to the right ventricle. From here it is pumped into the pulmonary circulation, through the lungs where it receives oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide. Oxygenated blood then returns to the left atrium, passes through the left ventricle and is pumped out through the aorta to the systemic circulation−where the oxygen is used and metabolized to carbon dioxide.[8] The heart beats at a resting rate close to 72 beats per minute.[9] Exercise temporarily increases the rate, but lowers resting heart rate in the long term, and is good for heart health.[10]
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common cause of death globally as of 2008, accounting for 30% of deaths.[11][12] Of these more than three quarters are a result of coronary artery disease and stroke.[11] Risk factors include: smoking, being overweight, little exercise, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and poorly controlled diabetes, among others.[13] Cardiovascular diseases frequently do not have symptoms or may cause chest pain or shortness of breath. Diagnosis of heart disease is often done by the taking of a medical history, listening to the heart-sounds with a stethoscope, ECG, and ultrasound.[3] Specialists who focus on diseases of the heart are called cardiologists, although many specialties of medicine may be involved in treatment.[12]

                            About  Matter In  classical physics  and general chemistry,  matter  is any substance that has  mass  and takes up space by having  volume . [1]  All everyday objects that can be touched are ultimately composed of  atoms , which are made up of interacting  subatomic particles , and in everyday as well as scientific usage, "matter" generally includes  atoms  and anything made up of them, and any particles (or  combination of particles ) that act as if they have both  rest mass  and volume. However it does not include  massless particles  such as  photons , or other energy phenomena or waves such as  light  or  sound . [1] [2]  Matter exists in various  states  (also known as  phases ). These include classical everyday phases such as  solid ,  liquid , and  gas  – for example  water  exists as ice, liquid water, and gaseous steam – but other states are possible, including  plasma ,  Bose–Einstein condensates ,  fermionic condensates , and  q
